Abstract:
An improved method for producing hydrogen fluoride from fluoride bearing ores, such as fluorospar and fluorapatite, by reaction of the ore as a slurry in fluorosulfonic acid. The slurry is heated by the exothermic heat of the reaction to vaporize volatile phosphorous compounds and substantial quantities of hydrogen fluoride. The calcium fluoride is substantially reacted to form hydrogen fluoride. High silica fluorospar ores can be used since silicon tetrafluoride is not formed with fluorosulfonic acid. Another feature provides for addition of calcium fluoride to the slurry to react with the by-product sulfuric acid in the residual solids to eliminate the sulfuric acid recovery step in the process. Hydrogen fluoride produced is recovered, together with the hydrogen fluoride produced from the hydrolysis or pyrolysis of the intermediate fluorophosphorous compounds. Additionally, at least a portion of the hydrogen fluoride can be reacted with sulfur trioxide to form fluorosulfonic acid for makeup in the process.

The invention relates to a process for the production of high purity phosphoric acid which has a very low content in antimony, and is suitable for food, pharmaceutical, or electronic industry.
Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of phosphoric acid from phosphate rock is provided. The phosphate rock is digested or acidulated with an acid solution containing oxalic acid to produce phosphoric acid and calcium oxalate. Useful by-products are also formed and include calcium carbonate and ammonium oxalate. More specifically, the process provides for the production of phosphoric acid, ammonium phosphate and useful by-products utilizing synthesis gas and air to produce oxalic acid and ammonia. The synthesized oxalic acid is utilized for phosphate rock digestion to produce phosphoric acid, which can be reacted with ammonia to produce ammonium phosphate. Calcium oxalate from phosphate rock digestion is utilized to produce calcium carbonate, ammonium oxalate and oxamide.
Abstract:
Encrusted filter surfaces that have been used for filtering wet process phosphoric acid slurries are effectively cleaned, e.g., of crystalline deposits, by washing same with a solution of fluosilic acid.
Abstract:
Crude phosphoric acid is made by subjecting crude phosphate ore containing sulfide to processing treatment with a mineral acid in a closed system comprised of a processing reactor, a filtering zone and an off-gas scrubbing zone. To this end, a soluble compound of a metal forming difficultly soluble sulfides in the respective acid medium is added either(A) during the processing operation the phosphate ore is subjected to or(B) during the scrubbing operation the off-gas is subjected toand the resulting sulfide precipitate is filtered off in case (A) together with further matter precipitated during the processing operation and, in case (B) separated from the scrubbing liquid.
Abstract:
Wet-process phosphoric acid is made by subjecting a phosphate ore to processing treatment with a mineral acid resulting in the formation of a processed suspension. The formation of silicofluorides is obviated by adding, either to the phosphate ore or the processed suspension, a quantity of an aluminum compound soluble in phosphoric acid sufficent for the processed suspension to present an aluminum concentration of 0.3 to 1.0 wgt %, based on P.sub.2 O.sub.5.

Abstract:
The filtration rate and/or washability of crystals of gypsum produced during the wet process for the production of phosphoric acid are improved by adjusting the notional Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 :P.sub.2 O.sub.5 and reactive SiO.sub.2 :F ratios of the phosphate rock to within certain ranges. The adjustment may be achieved by addition of sources of aluminium and silica to the phosphoric acid process.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for producing phosphoric acid, which consists in: at least an attack of phosphate ore with an attacking liquid containing soluble phosphate ions, forming of an attacking product, separating in the attacking product between an insoluble solid phase containing impurities and a liquid phase having soluble phosphate ions and calcium ions, introducing in the separated liquid phase an acid stronger than phosphoric acid and which forms, with said calcium ions, a soluble calcium salt, and isolating a solution of said calcium salt, not contaminated by the impurities, thereby obtaining a phosphoric acid solution.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for the manufacture of phosphoric acid directly from phosphate rock wherein the crushed phosphate rock is mixed with dilute phosphoric acid to form a slurry and the slurry is then heated to produce calcium monophosphate. Thereafter, oxalic acid is added to the slurry to precipitate the calcium therein as calcium oxalate which is separated. The liquid resulting therefrom which contains the phosphoric acid from the rock is then treated conventionally to recover the phosphoric acid therein.
